SLM Mainstreaming Tool

The SLM Mainstreaming Tool has been developed as part of the Decision Support for Mainstreaming and Scaling up SLM (DS-SLM) project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and WOCAT.

The SLM Mainstreaming Tool sets out a stepwise process for designing SLM mainstreaming strategies. It focuses on the identification of key decision-making processes such as national policies, land use and territorial planning, and financing mechanisms into which information on DLDD and SLM best practices can best be integrated. It also addresses the development – in synergy with key identified institutions – of viable mainstreaming objectives and activities.
